Top Ten Blues

My 2008 top ten list should be pretty much done by the end of this week, after I see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road.

There are currently three films battling it out for the top spot, but one has started to emerge as a clear victor.

This is probably the hardest top ten list I've ever had to do. Last year was a better year for film over all, but it seems I keep running into films I feel like I should include, but there just isn't room. On top of that, films I rated 3.5 stars are making it in over films I gave 4 stars, for the reason that my criteria are what films will I look back on 2008 for? What constitutes the most important works of the year?

It's a crazy list and a strange process. But I guarantee it will be a unique list.
